Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly a handle folding device thereof.
  • a handle arm is pivotally mounted on the outer end of a handle shaft to be movable between erected and folded positions, and a slide key is slidably mounted on the lower surface of the handle arm so as to engage the handle shaft for positively locking the handle arm in the erected or folded position.
  • This device is very advantageous as the handle arm can be readily and rapidly folded and erected while preventing loosening of the handle arm during use.
  • a drag knob for operating a drag mechanism built in a reel body tends to be arranged near the handle mounting end of the handle shaft, and the above device could not be utilized for this type reel since the folding of the handle arm is blocked by a drag knob circumferentially protruding out of the handle shaft.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view partly in longitudinal section showing the fishing reel embodying the invention wherein the handle is erected;
  • FIG. 2 is a side view partly in longitudinal section showing the handle folding device of the fishing reel shown in FIG. 1 wherein the handle is folded;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III--III in the FIG. 1.
  • a handle A is mounted on a handle shaft 2 to rotate a rotor b1 and reciprocatingly move a spool b2 both mounted on a reel body B, and a drag knob C is arranged near the handle mounting end of the handle shaft 2 so as to be rapidly and readily operative during string wind-up operation.
  • a handle arm 1 is pivoted at the base end thereof to a bracket 3 by a pivot pin 4.
  • the bracket 3 is protruded in the radial direction from the front end of the handle shaft and has a sectional configuration parallel to the axis of the handle shaft comprising axially directed part 3a, inclined part 3b radially inwardly following the part 3a, and a flat part 3c, radially extending from the part 3a.
  • Pivot pin 4 is offset from the axis of the handle shaft 2 to enable the handle arm 1 to swing free of the drag knob C.
  • the handle arm 1 comprises an inverted U-shaped member and a longitudinal slot 7 is formed at a suitable position of the upper wall while a guide wall 1a is provided at the lower portion thereof.
  • the upper inner-periphery 1c of the base end of the handle arm is arc-shaped so that the handle arm 1 is rotated in the clockwise direction in FIG. 1 about the pivot pin 4 along the outer periphery of the bracket 3 having the above-described configuration, while the front end 1b of the guide wall 1a is cut transversely of the handle arm so as to meet the axially directed part 3a of the bracket 3 and contact it when the handle A is erected.
  • a slide button 6 is slidably received in the slot 7 and urged toward the left as viewed in FIG. 1 by a spring 8 inserted in the slot 7, and a bent leg 6a of the slide button 6 is guided by the guide wall 1a.
  • the front end of the bent leg 6a is inserted as a wedge into the space between the arc-shaped inner periphery 1c of the handle arm 1 and the flat part 3c of the bracket 3 so as to securely hold the handle arm 1 in its erected position by preventing the rotation thereof.
  • the slide button 6 is moved toward the right as viewed in FIG. 1 against the force of the spring 8 until the front end of the bent leg 6a is positioned behind the front end 1b of the guide wall 1a, and then the handle arm 1 is rotated in the clockwise direction about the pivot pin 4 to the position shown in FIG. 2 where the top edge of the vertically straight part 3a of the bracket 3 contacts the arc-shaped inner periphery 1c of the handle arm 1. Thereafter, the button 6 is released so that the front end of the bent leg 6a is engaged with the inclined part 3b of the bracket 3, thus securely holding the handle arm 1 in the folded position.
  • the button 6 is moved toward the right to disengage the front end of the bent leg 6a from the bracket 3. Consequently, the handle arm 1 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction to the position shown in FIG. 1 where the front end 1b of the guide wall 1a contacts the axially directed part 3a of the bracket 3. In this position the slide button 6 is released to move into a wedging position between the handle arm 1 and the bracket 3, thus securely holding the handle arm in the erected position.
  • the handle is readily folded regardless of the position of the drag knob since the pivot point and the rotary center of the handle is shifted by the bracket mounted on the handle shaft.
